Farmers Compared A good harvest of comments was reaped recently by British newspaper men who interviewed three American farmers who had travelled 6,000 miles in Britain. Oscar Heniine of Marcus, Iowa, said: "The British farmer is fonder of work than we are, He will walk behind a machine. We won't." Robert J. Howard of Sher- burne, N.Y., said: "I take off my hat to your land girls; they are wonderful." Earl Robinson of Moitdovi, Wis., said a Scottish farmer had financed part of their trip when they ran out of cash. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON, JESUS TEACHES IN . PARABLES Mark 4:1-34 January 23 PRINTED TEXT, Mark 4:1-9, 28-32. GOLDEN TEXT—If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear. Mark 4:23. Memory Verse: God . .. careth for you, 1 Peter 5:7 THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. --All of the discourses of our lesson were uttered in the autumn of AD. 28. Peace.—The discourses were all delivered around the shores of the sea of Galilee, "Parable of the Sower "And again he began to teach by the sea side. And there is gathered unto him a very great multitude, so that he entered into a bort., and sat in the sea; and all the multitude were by the sea on the land. And ho taught them many things in parables. and said unto then in his teaching." A parable is a short moral or religious story of which the moral lesson is the substance. Parables have always been popular in. the East. The rabbis commonly began to teach the young disciple in parables. Our Lord reversed their met+- 1. He began by the simple words of the Sermon on the Mount, then a cbange came, and He spoke In parable when Ile found the hardheartedness of the. people. The Sower and The Seed "Hearken: Behold, the sower went forth to sow." The seed is, as the account of this parable indicates, nothing less than the very Word of God. As we shall see later, the Word has life, as a seed has life, and therefore it le able to produce something living in the hearts where it Is implant- ed. By The Way Side "And it carne to pass. as he sowed, some seed fell by the way side, and the birds came and de- voured it." The parable here pre- sents nothing unusual. It is simp- ly the picture of a man In Pales- tine with a bag of seed over his shoulder, casting the seed until the field is sown. Some of the seed naturally will fall by the way side, that is, on a beaten path where the ground is' hard, and where the seed cannot grow. As the seed is only safe from fowl when buried in the soil, so is the Word of life only safe against evil when it has sunk deep down into our hearts. On Rocky Ground "And another fell on the rocky ground, where it had not much earth; and straightway it sprang up, because it bad no deepness of earth: and when the sun was ris- en, it was scorched; and because it had no root, 1t withered away," Nearness to the warm surface In- duced rapid growth, but It also led to the shortening of the young plant's life. The shallowness of the soil did not permit the plant to develop its roots. So with men, the same shallowness of nature which made them susceptible to the gospel and quickly respons-' ive, makes them susceptible to pain, suffering, hardship. and easily defeated. It is so in all de- partments of life. , Among The Thorns "And others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit" These thorns our Lord lik- ens to the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things. The • idea here is that whoever lets these worries fill his heart will surely smother the word he has heard, for this deals with higher Interests. Into Good Ground "And others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, grow- ing up and increasing; and brought forth, thirtyfold, en d sixtyfold, and a hundredfold." When life 1s done some show a harvest. Some never let the -word in, some never let it root, some never let it grow up, Like all the Scripture revelations of man's sin- ful state, this one too aims at the conscience and repentance, thus opening the soul for gospel. The more it Is opened the more fruit will there be in the end, POP—Then Why Is She Masquerading? CANADIANS SPEND CFIRISTMAS IN ITALY Shown here are hosts and guests at a Christmas party held in.

Nearly 14,000 proficiency badges were earned by the Wolf Cubs of Canada last year. 4 0 0 Brigadier Alfred I{eith, Young People's secretary of the Salva- Uon Army, reports that every Boy Scout Loader in the Salvation Army has enlisted except one who is medically unfit. Every one has been replaced and Scout membership has been increased by 18 'per cent. o a s Toronto's 51st Boy Scout Troop has a unique record of enlist- ments in the armed forces. In the Sea Scout section, every eligible Scout, together with Scoutmaster William ?owler has joined the Canadian Navy as he became old enough. The land Scouts have an equally good rec- ord with two Scoutmasters, 11 as- sistant Scoutmasters, and 24 Scouts joining the army or air force, In all 70 boys have gone into the forces from this Troop, The Warning "And he said, Who hath ears to hear, let hint hear." This Is rather a call to attention than an appeal to spiritual discernment, and yet such an appeal is natural- ly implied. "And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed upon the earth; and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he knoweth not how." The earth is only the medium in which the seed grows. It has no life and can produce no life; all the life is in the seed. The seed must be brought to the earth by the will of someone. So is the human heart. The word nust be cast into it by another, must lodge there and grow; then that heart has spirit- ual life in it, the living Word. The Harvest The earth beareth fruit of her- self; first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain In the ear. But when the fruit is ripe, straightway he putteth forth the sickle, because the harvest is comp.'' This teaches that when all that the Word of God is in- tended to accomplish on earth in this age has been accomplished, the harvest time will come when the Saints of God will be taken home. Christ's Kingdom "And be said, How shall we liken the kingdom of God? or in what parable shall we set it forth? It is like a grain of mus- tard seed which, when is is sown upon the earth, though it he less than all the seeds that are upon the earth:, yet when it is sown, groweth up, and becometh greater than all the herbs, and putteth out great branches; so that the birds of the heaven eau lodge under the shadow thereof." Christ's kingdom shall attract multitudes by the shelter and pro- tection which it offers, shelter from worldly oppression and the great power of the devil.

They met in Baden-Powell's room at Inyperial Headquarters in Lon- don. In a body they attended Westminster Abbey where they were welcomed by the Dean. Lat- er they visited the R.S.S. Discov- ery, in which Capt. Scott sailed to the South Pole. The Discovery is now owned by the Boy Scout Association and is used as a training ship for Sea Scouts. Britain Still Finds Room For Refugees Britain seems to be doing its part in finding homes for refu- gees, says the Sault Star. Sixty thousand n o.n-British refugees have been admitted to various parts of the United Kingdom since May, 1940, and they still are arriving at the rate of 800 a month, the Foreign Office has disclosed. T h e announcement said 40,000 Polish refugees were being removed from Iran to East and South Africa, India, Pales- tine and Mexico through efforts of the governments concerned. 1 ai HORIZONTAL 1 Pictured animal,, 7 It is a -----, 32 Flock of animals, 14 Not good. 15 Symbol for cobalt, 17 Beverages. 18 Encounter. 20 Plural (abbr.) 21 Spherical body. 23 Musical instrument, 25 Babylonian deity. 26 Editor (abbr.) 28 Ordeal, . 29 Attitudinizes. 32 Short -napped fabric, 34 Bordered (bot.), 35 Sorrowful. 36 Pertaining to the ileum. 37 Two hundred and one (Roman).
